ing to that portion of this section
which provides that the National
Council has the power to re-admit,
by law, to all the rights Of citizen
ship, any person who may desire
to return, (of these eastern Chero-
kees) TO the Nation ON "memoral-
izing" the National Council for
such re-admission, stating, in this
course, their only remedy and re-
lief could be found. This is all
this decision attempts 10 point out,
and all the court had to deal with
was the status of the eastern band
of Cherokees, but from the word
ing and reading of the set of the
council creating this commission,
it seems to be the intention of the
legislators to give to this commits
sion n blanket jurisdiction over all
classes of claims of this nature, ex.
cept the colored or freedmen, and
from the subsequently published
notices in the national paper this
intent is more pronounced. Pas
sion and prejudice seems 10 be i'm
printed and indiscretion the rule
of construction of this act.
II will be observed, the decision
of the supreme court confines the
argument closely to the class of
the eastern band Of the Cherokees
who refused TO move from the east
TO the west side of the Mississippi
river, as determined by the
treaties.
The decision does. not attempt
TO pass upon the condition and
course to pursue of claimants who
may have moved at the time TO
the west of the Mississippi river,

At Rest.

Mr.. S. X. COffey, formerly we'll
known saddler of this city, died yester-
day morning at his residence on San
Pedro Avenue. near Marshall street.
The deceased was formerly soldier of
% years service In the federal army, and
the remains were inferred In the ma
tiOnal cemetery this morning at 10
o'clock, Rev. Swift, Of the garrison, Off
Chatting at the last ceremonies. De-
ceased leaves a family.
The remains OF Miss Iva Harm, whose
terrible suicide has been the talk of
every lip since Friday night, took place
Saturday afternoon from the residence
on South street at 3 O'Clock. The resi-
dence was filled with friends Of the
family. and tbe..funeral ceremonies were
the ssddest and most solemn that has
been witnessed for long period In this
city. The beautiful Episcopal service
for the dead was said by Dean
Richardson in bis most heartfelt
way, and the audible grief OF the
bereaved members of the family
was mingled with the tears aud
sobs Of the many friends who had gath
cred to pay this last sad tribute to the
life and spotless Christian character OF
the young and fair being whom in life
rybody loved, everybody respected
and for whom now everybody mourns.
The ever changing cycles Of time will
in their seasons roll round many. many
times, ere, in the affections OF the COM
munity and the immediate circle Of
friends, one is found who will supply
the void left by this departed spirit.

HIS LoRDsHIP SIR ROGER.


perhaps of modern times will belong remem-
bered, and there are not few peOplein Eng
land, as well as in this country, who
believe that the claimant for the Itch
borne estate, in that country was none
other than the genuine Sir Roger.
There were many things brought out
in the almost fearful discrimination
to which he was subjected, and the public
inquisition through which he passed in so
many varied forms of surveillance,
which seemed to point Enthusiastically
TO the genuineness of his claim, and there
is. still very great sympathy for him
felt and expressed. Added to his most adj
venturous career before the trial, it has been
scarcely less so since his defeat. He has met
with many misfOrtunes but none so serious
as the one of which he writes in the follow
ing communication, which happily was
arrested in the manner which he describes.
1t will be observed by his signature that he
still holds on to the peculiarities of writing
his name which called for a good deal of
questioning during the trial, and, as
il is for reasons best known to himself
that he does so, there is no reason
for criticising it. One Of the strong
admirers was the pertinaCity and good sense
with which he held on to what he considered
right and Just, and there is clear manifes-
tatiOn of this spirit Of truthfulneSs in the
letter quoted below. 1t is Outspoken and
free from any shadow Of disguise. while it
describes how readily he was relieved and
spared the continuance of perhaps a fatal
malady: "l15 Fourth avenue, New York,
February % 1887. Gentlemen-For the last
four months | have suffered from rheuma-
tism, and every time / sat down and
got up | suffered the most acute agony;
in fact / was not able to move my legs with
out pain, and when going down stairs the
pain was dreadful to bear. l was recon-
mended TO send for bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
and tryi ] did so, and to my great sur
prise and delight / found it an almost
instant cure. | have only used one bottle,
but / can now sit down. get up and walk
about without the slightest pain. ! cannot
understand any person suffering such pain
when for few cents they can obtain instant
relief" Yours truly,
